Zulu, in keeping with what you're doing for the Joe pilots, I just found something cool. The Brits have a prototype UAV called the Taranis, "named after the Celtic god of thunder". It's a jet, it's stealthy, and it's more like a fighter than an armed recon drone. Very interesting stuff, found it on Yahoo news.

Been pretty busy lately, so I haven't been able to work on the document as much as I would like. Here's another revision of the document:
Comments, suggestions, and typo catches much appreciated! |

I haven't had much time to delve in, but here's what I noticed:
Missing page: Hard Drive and Alpine -On the move: Grid Iron, Slaughter, Cover Girl, Dodger Grid Iron and Slaughter move over to the training section. Perfect place for them. I thought Slaughter was a little redundant where he was, and this is a little more of a noble consolation prize for the West Point grad than where he was. Cover Girl becomes the driver for the big dogs. Love it and it ties her closer to her movie persona and more importantly ups her visibility (in the imaginary comic book my mind has created for your world). Dodger moves over to her position. It's a great place for someone with his technical skillset. -New members: Topside(!), Charbroil, Backstop, Barricade, Long-Arm, Budo Really happy to see Topside back in action, and I know you're happy to have Charbroil. Backstop fits into the field team better than Dodger and I can feel the Canadian pride flowing from this character, haha. Budo is a nice addition to the training cadre and I'm glad you filled those holes in leadership positions next to Shockwave. I can't tell you how much that bugged me (and I'm sure it drove you nuts yourself). -STEEL, SONIC, and TIGER designations. Nothing to add other than I love those little easter eggs. -I see there's a block of updated character flavor for several characters: Hardball - Really cool new insight into his character. I like the bit about reluctant leadership qualities. Flint - LOL, that's definitely Flint. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of what his teammates think about him and more depth given to his...creative problem solving abilities. Falcon - Great profile. I'm digging the bit about him being better at languages than anyone else on the team. His likability and cultural awareness (something we're covering right now in my Organizational Behavior class) make him a great compliment to Steeler's outspoken get-it-done-right-now style. Crosshair - About what I expected. Good stuff. Finally...Notfuhnuttin'...Ahmjussayin'... ...Long Range (Garcia), Salvo (:p), Downtown, and a couple others would make for a nice sixth LRS team... ;) (Please don't kill me.) |

I've been thinking about adding Salvo and Downtown. I'm probably not going to add another LRS team (as it is, the TIGER detachment is already stretching the definition of a "detachment"), but I might add them in already-existing positions that make sense for the MOSes they were given in their original filecards (Salvo makes sense as an armorer, for example) |

Yeah I haven't finished reading it all, but it's truly a thing of beauty. I went back to see what MT is referring to since I missed them. I sort of miss the codenames next to the position in the org chart, but now I look at it without the names it has a better feel. Since all the positions are not filled with named Joes, it sort of looked incomplete. Plus now I can go back and do it myself, when I print it out.
Yes and the SONIC and TIGER designations are Badass Zulu!
